I've found https://www.securemessagingapps.com to be an interesting source of comparison. The author seems to actively update it based on crowd-submissions. There's also http://öä.eu/bac.html (based on

That was indeed the case in December, 2014 (before I joined the team). Legal docs were quickly fixed. Tech was fixed in March 2016 when everything (text, assets, calls) were moved to E2EE and open sourced.

Have you looked into Wire as an alternative? Also HQd in Switzerland, E2EE with multi-device and desktop support + open source. Happy to walk you through it (I'm siim@wire.com).

Video calls in general are CPU/battery heavy operations, I've done pretty long ones with Wire (my employer) and yes, the phone gets warm but no issues with performance (iPhone 6).

Servers ARE outside of the US. All in EU.

Correct, built with Electron like our Windows and macOS apps. Glad you're enjoying it. Possible reason: https://medium.com/@wireapp/axolotl-and-proteus-788519b186a7...

VC backed (Iconical, Skype co-founder Janus Friis who's involved in product dev), premium features + platform play targeting enterprise will monetize.

Give it another try in a day or two (we're close to a small performance release). Browser based encryption has performance issues but at least now we're showing the sent message immediately (in grey while it's sending, in bla

Wire offers APK download from wire.com/download and working on making notifications work without Google too.

We've solved the multi device issue at Wire (wire.com). Causes some challenges - larger payload, not super fast performance in browsers once you hit certain level of connections and messages, but very, very usable. wire.com/privac

Wire is VC funded by Iconical/Janus Friis (Skype co-founder who is also the co-founder of Wire) and will monetize with premium features. Can't share more at this point, I'm afraid.

Some of the "basic" stuff is actually surprisingly complex to do without compromising some other aspect IF we at Wire were to stick to always-E2EE-everything mantra. Case in point - delivery notifications. We're actually look

All servers in the EU, the US connections you see are to proxies we use for better performance. Nothing stored there and chat contents E2EE, of course.

Wire doesn't have group video or screen sharing yet (although 1:1 screen sharing is not far off).

There's no not API available. We've been experimenting with a few internal bots (Otto is the most prominent) but that's the extent of it for now.

No. No plans to offer that at the moment.

We've actually nicely accelerated user growth this year. Going the OS route was always the plan, especially given the target audience of hacktavists, human rights organizations, journalists. Open source is tablestakes to be taken serio
